European Restaurants near Carteret, NJ

“02.23.24 I was looking for a 'chill spot' conveniently located between work and home. I went on Yelp and this place popped up. I just got off work and I arrived about 10:20pm. This bar/restaurant was still serving food from the entire menu. Andrea made my classic margaritas (5 star). I paired the margaritas with caldo Verde soup (5 star) and clams casino (3 stars). If I get off work early again and I'm not in the mood for typical 'bar food', this is definitely my 'go to' spot.“

“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“

“Great polish food. I live 45min away and stop here for pierogis whenever in the area. From potato and cheese, to mushroom and even blueberry these are all best around. Also tried bean stew which is amazing. Bigos or hunter stew I guess is great ! Traditional dishes are also phenomenal around holidays. The bread is always fresh and probably best in the whole region. This is the place to shop if you're into this type of food.“

“Heard that Pierogi Palace was good. I was getting some to take back to California. I stopped in around 9:30 am. Pierogies were being made. I was told they would be ready about noon. So I placed order & said I would return around 4:30. The women was frying a big pot of onions & another pot of sauerkraut. There was also a large pot of potatoes. The place smelled fabulous. I came back & purchased 4 dozen. Packed on ice and took back to California. So delicious, this will be my yearly stop when coming to the East Coast.“

“We got the dessert for our wedding this past weekend from the Cake Artist. It was a huge hit! They matched all the colors to our wedding colors and my wedding cake was both beautiful and delicious. I didn’t personally get to try a donut but I was told they were fantastic by everyone and they flew off their little shelves! Will of course go back and continue going back for other occasions!“
